Photo: Nancy Pelosi Before Plastic Surgery

Never in a million years would I have guessed this is a photo of Nancy Pelosi standing with the late former President John F. Kennedy.

According to Doug Ross, she posted it on her facebook wall with the following commentary:

She captioned it: “50 years ago today, I was a young Trinity College student standing outside in the sunlit cold, listening to a young President’s inaugural call to ‘the energy, the faith, the devotion…that will light our country and all who serve it – and the glow from that fire can truly light the world.”

‘The leadership of President John F. Kennedy is not just a memory, but a living force that still asks every citizen to lead—and perhaps that is the most precious gift of all.’

In 1962, President John F. Kennedy planted the seeds that grew the modern Democratic Party. That year, JFK signed executive order 10988 allowing the unionization of the federal work force. This changed everything in the American political system. Kennedy’s order swung open the door for the inexorable rise of a unionized public work force in many states and cities.

This in turn led to the fantastic growth in membership of the public employee unions—The American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME), the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) and the teachers’ National Education Association.

They broke the public’s bank. More than that, they entrenched a system of taking money from members’ dues and spending it on political campaigns. Over time, this transformed the Democratic Party into a public-sector dependency.

No wonder she’s so proud to post that photo. His decision led to the rise of the unions funding the Democrat Party with our tax dollars.

Back to the plastic surgery, perhaps she should have scaled back. Just sayin’.
